I am a 23 year old boy and a brilliant student as I have achieved laurels throughout my college course. I was diagnosed with Vitamin B12 deficiency since I was having dizziness, shortness of breath, confidence lack and heart palpitation along with weight loss. So my doctor advised me with Fefol and mecobal OD once in a day. Along with it he also prescribed stalopam 10 mg and Trika0. 5 mg twice a day and metalor xr 50 once in a day. When I again met him again in 1 month I was all fine but he said to continue fefol and macabal Od for one more month and rest (trika, stalopam and metalor for at least 6 months). I do not understand why the duration is so long and what if I quit it or else what if I take these drugs for soo long I get addicted for it for lifetime. I am really concern on this because I want to be fine by myself nd not on medicines. Can any one kindly guide me on this?

Stalopam is an antidepressant and anxiolytic. You should not get hooked to trika, as it is alprazolam and can be highly addictive and harmful on the longer run. Better you consult a psychiatrist and get treated as the symptoms are that of anxiety. What was your Vit B 12 level, has it become normal, have you rechecked it with another lab. There are many loose strings. Good luck.
